In this course we will of course make use of God's Units, namely 
       h-bar = c = 1
but occasionally I will indulge myself in my personal addition to
those units, in the form of 
       2 = -1 = pi = i = 1
please feel free to interject whenever you feel confused, and I will
make my best effort to clarify things.
